2.  I discovered the sweetest little shop in Fullerton called Belly Sprout! And I'll be teaching a  Mommy and Me Felted Soap Making Class there on June 17th. Belly Sprout features organic eco friendly goodness for babies, toddlers and moms. And, they have the cutest Craft Show display ever!

This pic is from their website. I don't believe the stilt walkers were around when I saw them at Patchwork. But, they add a nice touch.

Craft Show Wrap Up

I participated in two great craft shows last weekend. The Art Craw Experience (ACE) in Anaheim and Patchwork in Long Beach. I had such a great time spreading the knowledge of felt making and getting a few kiddos on the spinning wheel! 

I was so happy with my new display grid. While it's not super quirky or eclectic... It is SO FUNCTIONAL! I love love love it. If you are in Orange County and looking for display pieces I highly recommend the Orange Pico Supply Store in Anaheim.

A match made in Heaven

My cabaret at the Anaheim White House was this past Friday! It was a totally blast.  I'm so happy to say I found a way to combine my love of PERFORMING and my love of CROCHETING.  Check out this video to see how I Crocheted a Molly Made Dahlia while singing Twisted.  I was so lucky to have such a great band lead by the amazing Dan Barrett.

I also brought in my love of TEACHING.  I was joined by two of my students from The Music Room School of Performing Arts.  We did a little Sondheim ditty, "Everybody Says Don't."

How have you found ways to combine Crochet with other art forms?

Happy as the Day is Long - help me choose a flyer

I've been busier than a 16 armed Octopus! So many great things on the horizon!

In addition to putting on productions of "Peter Pan", "Mary Poppins" and "Into the Woods" and teaching all around town... I've also been working on a show of my own at the Anaheim White House.  It's set for April 22nd. Just around the corner!

The show titled "Happy as the Day is Long" has a kickin band, 3 great guest artitsts, AND a 3 course meal.  And, to top it all off, a super talented friend designed flyers!

I'm planning on using both flyers, but I'd like to choose one to use for advertising with people who I don't know.  I'd love your help deciding between the two.

Carol Channing comes to Anaheim

 A really great gem of an event is about to happen in Anaheim! As some of you know, I'm on the board of the Anaheim Performing Art Center Foundation.  (you can find out more about APAC at www.apacf.org) Well, APAC is super excited to be co-producing a concert celebrating Carol Channing's 90th birthday! AND - SHE WILL BE PERFORMING! As will some top notch BWAY talent, and Musical Theatre University's Kids Next Door. 

    I'm sure you all have your own favorite Carol Channing memories. Mine are a little random, so I thought I'd share in an effort to spark your excitement. It might seem super weird - but (being a child of the 80's) I LOVED her as the White Queen in Alice in Wonderland. Here's a clip if you haven't seen it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrjIVhIeGnw.   And, of course, as Muzzy in Thoroughly Modern Millie!  Here's a link to her as Muzzy going to town in the number "Jazz Baby"  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-UrGp4Wbk4 I seriously WANT that dress!  And, if your own memories of Hello Dolly aren't enough to bring you to this event. I just learned that she has now dedicated her life to returning arts education to public schools. Hello! 

    She's totally crazy and totally WONDERFUL!  I can't wait!  And to top it all off, this event will benefit her foundation, The Dr. Carol Channing & Harry Kullijian Foundation for the Arts, Musical Theatre University, and The Anaheim Performing Arts Center Foundation. With tickets as low as $20... I can't see how this concert won't sell out! 

    Tickets are now available here - http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/166337 OR - you can also purchase VIP tickets, which include dinner at The Anaheim White House and an after party with Dr. Carol Channing herself by calling Shelley Sherman at (714) 554-6033.

         I look forward to seeing you all on April 16th!

                         Here's to kicking up our heels when we are 90!
